Chapter 112 (1/2)
It's ten days. In the past, ten days off in school felt like it would pass in the blink of an eye, but now, why is it so difficult?
The next day, the people on the mountain were fine, because for the rest of their lives, they felt a little lucky. Although the situation was bad, commander Xu zhe said that as long as they insisted, they would have a way out for ten days at most.
Fortunately, some people took more or less rations when they escaped, but after they were distributed to the people around them, they were a little pitiful. Everyone took a small bite and only dared to chew and swallow slowly.
At the beginning, everyone was actively preparing. When cutting down the tree and lighting the fire, they suddenly found that there were some scattered pinecones on the pine tree, which really excited everyone, so they carefully collected them and peeled them for women and children to eat.
The men sat together in groups, took out their cigarettes and handed them to each other. There was a scene of camping everywhere on the mountain. The families of those important scientific researchers also gathered together to talk about their husbands and recent events.
On the third day, the situation was very different. The people who had been hungry for three days fell into an inexplicable silence, like eggplant wilted by a morning frost.
All the dried pine nuts that can be collected around are eaten up, and all the pine nut shells scattered on the grass are scattered, like seeds evenly scattered on the grass, greedily basking in the sun to supplement energy, so as to resist the cold caused by hunger.
The stomach is contracting violently, but it can't find digestible food, which makes it a little confused about its long-term abundance, so it works harder to secrete gastric acid, which makes everyone's mouth slightly bitter, and the glittering saliva keeps gathering, as if it would drip out accidentally.
Fortunately, behind the eagle beak rock, we found a stream. We don't know whether it was formed by the gushing of underground spring or the leakage of a water supply pipe in the base, but in short, the clear stream saved everyone's life. The hungry people drank water desperately, and everyone continued to lie down and bask in the sun, When it's over, you'll find a place to go to the bathroom.
This makes the already small mountain seem very busy.
Hao Zhi admired the soldiers standing guard most, like iron pillars standing in the crevices of the rocks. Hunger seemed to be nonexistent for them. He always observed the situation around them firmly and carefully, without complaint or doubt, revealing a certain quality of soldiers as hard as steel.
The guard team in charge of defense crawled on the periphery of the mountain with several machine guns. All of them used Yinggang bullets and dared not relax for a moment. For fear that those mechanical beetles would attack back, it was precisely because of their existence that the people on the mountain dared to be so lazy and relaxed.
Perhaps they are the spiritual benchmark on this mountain position.
On the fifth night, someone caught a rabbit on the back slope of the mountain. It was hairy and quite fat!
So, the whole quiet mountain was lively again. Many people watched, looked in with their feet tilted and saliva swallowed. The man who got the booty excitedly grabbed the rabbit's ear and showed it to the public.
The gray haired hare was obviously frightened. He stared at the people in front of him with frightened eyes, just like human beings looking at those ferocious alien war insects. From the greedy eyes of the latter, there was only a crazy desire.
Hao Zhi stood high and looked at everything in front of him calmly. Hunger exposed the nature of the crowd. He began to recall what the ghost said, so he turned his head and didn't want to see the next cruel scene.
The woman covered the children's eyes. The man couldn't hold the borrowed war knife, so he had to bury the knife in the soil, pull the rabbit's ear with one hand and press the hare's body with the other hand. With a gentle stroke on the sharp and cold blade, the rabbit's head fell off. He didn't grasp it firmly. The rest of the hare's body kicked open, madly kicked several times and didn't move, A furry rabbit leg trembled, trembled
I don't know whether it's hunger or something else. Hao Zhi feels tight in his heart and has an urge to nausea. He wants to vomit, but he can't vomit anything. He has to climb down from the boulder. He is seeing Wang Yanke leaning under the stone and watching them kill rabbits with his arm.
The thick rabbit skin was peeled off like a coat that didn't belong to it, revealing its actually weak body. The headless rabbit was like a baby just fell out of its womb, covered with blood and curled up in a ball
”I have to admit that what the ghost said is reasonable!” Hao Zhi sighed and looked at the busy people in the distance.
”What's the reason? Just because of this?” Wang Yanke looked at the scene in front of him indifferently. ”Human killing nature, such a lovely rabbit, was killed. A group of people swallowed their saliva and looked around like cold and numb passers-by.”
”Yes, maybe the ghost also has something he wants to defend. For example, from the standpoint of other animals, he may represent justice, but we protect human evil!” Hao Zhina's infrequent brain has become much more flexible recently.
”Maybe, he just looks at the problem from another angle. As long as you are willing to change the angle a little, everything will be different!” Wang Yanke smiled.
”Change... Angle? What angle?” Hao Zhi did not understand and looked at Wang Yanke blankly.
”Wait and see...” Wang Yanke said mysteriously.
After a while, the rabbit on the fire had been roasted outside and inside tender, emitting an attractive smell. The barbecue man raised the branch in his hand and excitedly observed the dark brown oily and bright food. He stretched his neck, swallowed saliva, and looked reluctantly. Then he turned around and pulled out the child hidden behind him, It was a little girl less than four years old, staring at ignorant and lovely big eyes in the dark
The man handed the branch into his woman's hand, and then sat contentedly aside, watching the woman carefully tear off the hot rabbit meat and feed it to the little girl. Many children in the surrounding crowd ran over and made a small pile. The woman smiled and distributed the rabbit meat to them. One by one, it was like queuing up in the kindergarten to eat, and it was like a hungry chick
The man simply sucked a little oil on his hand during the barbecue. From beginning to end, he didn't eat a bite of rabbit meat!
